    Domestic J seat allocation disappeared

    Have four upcoming domestic J B738 flights. At time of booking selected row 2 (dropped to LTG), first two flights alone and following two with partner. At T-80 checked allocation and had none but 1F was available so took it. Checked further and seat allocation for all other flights gone. I was...

    131131 only manned 0700 to 1900 Sydney time Mon to Sat

    SWMBO got a sms at 2200 tonight saying tomorrow’s flights (starting at 0700) had changed further details to follow. Went into MMB but nothing there. Rang 131131 and got a message regarding the hours as in the header but press 1 for imminent travel. All sorted but when I logged into my account...

    Who enforces no mobile phone use on plane

    On a flight today, door well and truly shut and not at gate and passenger in front makes phone call. This is not an exception and I would love to have them pursued under air safety regs or whatever and get a nice fine so they undertsand they may not be as important as they thought. I also...

    QF Fare Class Not On Itinerary

    Apart from the obvious answer, why is it that in 8 (responsibly sourced) pages which make up a domestic itinerary QF can't manage to put the fare class anywhere. You just get "Economy" not B, Q, Y etc. Extremely frustrating when trying to calculate SC or cancellation options particularly if...

    Customer Feedback Worked!!

    Had an 18 hour delay due to aircraft bird strike on 27 Dec. Accommodation and meal arrangements were sub-optimal and I submitted feedback around 6 Jan (knowing no-one would be on deck before that). Got a call 27 Jan and they requested my consent to forward my comments to QF airport management...

    How hard woulf it be for QF to:

    How hard would it be for QF to: 1. Email all the FFs impacted by the 90 min blacckout at Sydney domestic Sunday night and explain the cause of the problem, apologise for the paucity of information during the event, and acknowledge we were inconvenienced. Even if out of their control, they...

    No seatback IFE on long domestic flights.

    Flown SYD-DRW twice on a Sunday in 2 weeks and both times just the drop down sceens installed. I believe this is probably the longest domestic route with daily (or more) solely 738 aircraft operating. The aircraft planners should surely have as a priority that the longer routes get setback IFE...

    Why does QF make it so hard to find fare and other conditions once booked

    QF send out an email itinerary which varies between 6-10 pages. Nowhere are the booking conditions included and it just tells you to refer to the fare rules. Noting it doesn't even detail fare class eg Y, N or O or even general description such as red e-deal or flexi saver, how does the...

    Adding Domesstic Sector to FASA - what should it cost?

    I have a FASA SYD-LHR next March. I now need to add DRW-SYD return to it but want stopover Sydney both ways for a few days- there is plenty of classic J seats available for the domestic flight. I have been quoted $2106.68 with no option for points. Does this sound right. It's not a bad...

    DOM J Catering - what a difference

    This week flew DRW-PER on B738 - hopped into 1A and there was a printed menu card with a Prawn entrée and four choices for Main - noting flight is a 1420 departure and 1630 arrival this was even more amazing - food was great - is this the new "standard" - if so a real improvement.

    QF Website won't display J/Y mixed flights for smaller ports

    If you want to book online DRW-HVB or HVB-SYD and select Business it will only return award seats with the "i" indicating one sector is Y class. I tried for the last business sale ($1290 J return DRW-BNE) but you could not book online as a single journey through to HVB and confirmed tonight it...

    Why won't PAX turn off their mobiles when instructed

    Recent 763 flight in 2C - PAX in 1D (out of view of FA because of bulkhead) continued to text through the whole taxi - as we neared take-off roll I said "Would you mind turning that off please" to which the response was "Is this bothering you?" with my response being "As a matter of fact yes"...
